Bad drug claims the life of Kelowna teenager Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Marissa Ginter’s online footprint shows a young woman who enjoyed hanging out with friends, music and graffiti. The parents of the 17-year-old youth who died Friday after allegedly ingesting tainted ecstasy are not speaking publicly about her death. Marissa Ginter was first identified in the media by a friend’s parents as be-
ing among a group of three youth whose story RCMP went public with in order to warn others about the possibility that tainted drugs are circulating in Kelowna. A statement released Friday morning said the youths—initially identified as a 15, 16 and 18-year-old—had been admitted to hospital with severe gastrointestinal issues and itching from what RCMP believe to be a bad batch of ecstasy.
Marissa Ginter “There have been others with similar experiences after consum-
ing street drugs recently,” Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark said last Friday, hours before Centre of Gravity brought thousands of youth into the downtown core. Ginter’s obituary indicates she died the same day the warning was issued. Nothing official has been said about how or why the drug is alleged to have killed the young woman, but online speculation by other youth has

Seeking hope in fight against ALS
When Cindy Lister had the idea for a fundraising event called the Cycle of Hope, she looked on a map to think about possible cycling routes. Her eyes focused in on the community of Hope in the Fraser Valley, and she immediately felt it was a perfect connection to the ride, which is in support of finding a cure and helping those affected by a disease that offers little hope. That disease is ALS, sometimes referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease because it claimed the life of the legendary New York Yankee first baseman. The acronym stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a disease that is a progressive neuromuscular ailment in which nerve cells die and leave voluntary muscles paralyzed. Hope is difficult to find for those afflicted with ALS as well as their family members or caregivers. It is a diagnosis that is literally a death sentence, a disease in which your mind will continue to function normally until

placed the blame on heroin. Meanwhile, a more complete picture has begun to surface in the online comments and her own electronic footprint. Ginter’s obituary identifies her as one who frequented the Boys and Girls Club of the Central Okanagan and Facebook and YouTube posts speak to a young woman who enjoyed music, creativity and spending time with friends.
She is said to have played musical instruments, have a lovely singing voice and an effervescent smile, by those who took the time to post comments on her memorial page at Springfield Funeral home. “I ran into Marissa several times over the last few months and every time she was so warm and friendly,” Alana Turigan wrote Sunday afternoon.

▼ DOWNTOWN KELOWNA
Troika building project generates enthusiasm The sound of construction crews hard at work may not be everybody’s cup of tea, but to many Kelowna business owners and politicians, it’s the best kind of music. After years of somewhat stagnant growth and development, the city’s downtown core is in the midst of a major makeover, with the much-publicized Bernard Avenue Revitalization Project just one highly visible piece in the puzzle. There are nearly two-dozen development projects proposed or underway downtown; everything from boat slips and vehicle parking to residential buildings, hotels and commercial office space. The latest project to break ground is Upper Avenue by Troika Group. Located at 554 Leon Ave., Upper Avenue is scheduled for completion and occupancy in June 2014. The project will be a jewel in Kelowna-owned Troika’s commercial development crown; offering up to 40,000 square feet of space and on-site parking, in a five-storey, concrete, steel and wood frame building. “A vibrant city centre is critical to the success of the business community, and we’re excited to contribute to Kelowna’s revitalization by developing a contemporary, new commercial space that will provide another

Just one block south of Bernard Avenue and a short, five-minute walk from Okanagan Lake, Upper Avenue includes bike storage for tenants and a rooftop terrace. There are no set interior design plans as Troika is building out the space to meet the requirements of individual tenants. Even before construction work began on the site, 60 per cent of the space in Upper Avenue was already spoken for. Troika Group will be moving its offices into the building, as will Procera Networks, the Fremont, California-based company well known to Kelowna residents as a result of its high profile purchase of successful local technology company, Vineyard Networks earli-

Chase leads to collision between a car and a bus A 46-year-old Kelowna man is in custody facing a number of possible charges after a small car collided with a city bus Aug. 1. Last Thursday, shortly before 11 a.m., the Kelowna RCMP responded to an attempted break-in on the 800 block of Tamarack Drive. A man who is well known to police was apparently attempting to break into a residence and had uttered threats towards the occupant. The man fled the scene in a silver Honda CRX headed towards Springfield Road. Police located the occupied vehicle in the parking lot of the Orchard Park Mall but the suspect sped away, evading the police. Plainclothes officers in an unmarked police vehicle were able to close in on the suspect and observed him driving in a dangerous manner prior to crashing into a city transit bus on Sutherland Avenue near Chandler Street. The man fled on foot shortly after the crash but was quickly apprehended by police. The investigation is ongoing. The Kelowna man faces several potential charges including attempted break and enter, uttering threats, flight from police and dangerous driving.

soil, making it work more effectively. In turn, our lawns need less water and need it less often. There’s less freshwater available in the Okanagan than almost anywhere in Canada. Yet, on average, Okanagan residents use 675 litres of water per person, per day—this average spikes to 1,000 litres in the summer, used mostly on our lawns. We can save 500 to 1,500 litres a week by letting our grass grow a little bit longer. Leave grass clippings as mulch as water works best when there is some mulch left behind on your lawn. The clippings provide
nutrients, reducing the need for fertilizer. They also help retain moisture, requiring less water and reducing evaporation. And don’t forget to aerate the lawn in early spring or fall. This will improve water penetration and help your lawn grow full and green. One inch a week will do. Most lawns need only 2.5 cm (one inch) of water per week—and after a good rain, not even that much. Watering too much promotes shallow roots,
weed growth, disease and fungus. Watering deeply and less often promotes deep, healthy root growth. If you’re watering deeply but not seeing results the problem may be inadequate topsoil. Try top dressing with half an inch of compost, then over-seeding for a thick vigorous lawn.

▼ ENTREPRENEURS
Welcome adversity as a stepping stone to business success I ‘‘ have had the privilege in my previous columns to reinforce factors pertinent to the entrepreneurial spirit. Those factors I have written about include how entrepreneurs are not born, but made/created through circumstance; entrepreneurship often occurs when a person determines they are “ready”; when one discovers an idea deluge that offers entrepreneurial opportunity potential through the encouragement of family and friends. And I have recently been made aware studies done by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and a few US-related business organizations revealed that entrepreneurs do flourish in tough economic times. It is this latter trumpet call that has prompted me
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young to collect and share some thoughts on this. Adversity is undoubtedly another means to discover your capability when you embrace the notion that entrepreneurs seek solutions to problems in the world around them. Adversity then introduces us to the real you and tends to bring out the best in us. Adversity, it has been written many times, serves as a barometer to measure the greatness in an individual. The true potential
in each of us surfaces at times of adversity, particularly if we don’t give up. Problems are the price of progress and the obstacles of life, indeed our entrepreneurial life when seeking entrepreneurial success, are intended to make us better, not bitter. Adversity does have its simplistic advantages. One such advantage is that it helps us to unleash our potential within, a phrase that was given to me by my eldest son Craig,who is today a social entrepreneur and university vice-chancellor in Mozambique. I like to refer to that as “the fire within,” referring to the passionate emotionality upon which the entrepreneurial spirit is born. Will adversity come on the way toward the ful-

We can’t avoid some form of adversity in our daily lives, let alone the creation of our beginnings of the entrepreneurial dream. Adversity is part of life. The adversity itself is really not the problem, but how we deal with it is what matters. Adversity can make or break an entrepreneurial venture—poor business planning, poorly thought out financial requirements, inadequate analysis of the perceived opportunity and need to the marketplace to highlight a few key benchmarks. But perhaps the greatest gift you can offer yourself is to push yourself into a temporary crisis as above listed that requires you to “try your wings,” so to speak. Those who know me

tough? In conventional business, politics, war or any entrepreneurial pursuit, we hear the same message over and over: “Don’t give up the ship.” Please remember, adversity is different for each of us. For some, it means not meeting the entrepreneurial goals we have set out. For others, running out of money and not being able to make the new venture launch occur. So when faced with adversity within the framework of your entrepreneurial dream, your first step might be to summon forth the courage and inspiration that came from your original vision. You came to this place for personal change and challenge because of something you wanted to achieve in your life. It was more than money and fame. You embraced your perception of the entrepreneurial dream out of a true passion. So before you overcome your adversities, reach inside your heart and remember what got you going in the beginning. I’m certain you will discover more about yourself than you could have possibly imagined. Adversity is never permanent, but may your passion for life, love and the entrepreneurial spirit prevail.

I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get ‘it’ in this are the ones who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, they make them.” Quite beautiful words that I would translate in this way: “Let every stumbling block we encounter become a stepping stone.” Adversity is an opportunity to bring out the best in you.

Sound the alarm—all of us are responsible for fire safety I t’s a great time of the year to be in the gorgeous, sunny Okanagan. It’s a pleasure to live in an area where we can enjoy warm summer temperatures, where the beaches are plentiful and where residents can head out to the great outdoors to go camping or share amazing backcountry adventures. You don’t have to go far, however, before you’re reminded of the catastrophic wildfires of 2003. In Kelowna, more than 33,000 people were evacuated and 238 homes were lost or damaged. Although the fire scars on the hillsides are becoming greener, they serve as constant reminders of the impact of wildfires. I am proud to live in a province that is recognized around the world for excellence in wildfire prevention and management.
MLA’S REPORT
Steve Thomson We are fortunate to have world-class, dedicated professionals in B.C.’s Wildfire Management Branch, who are committed to ensuring a quick, skillful, and strategic response to wildfires. They also toil tirelessly in our communities and forests to reduce wildfire risks. There’s also another group of people that play an important role in preventing wildfires—the public. You need to report wildfires or abandoned campfires, use fire responsibly and do what you can to help prevent catastrophic wildfires. Nearly 50 per cent of
wildfires each year are caused by people. Discarded cigarette butts, fireworks, unattended campfires, or sparks from recreational activities could all lead to wildfires that threaten our families, homes and communities. These human-caused wildfires also divert resources from naturally occurring wildfires, so please be careful with your outdoor activities, especially during the summer. Another thing people can do to reduce wildfire impacts is to apply FireS-

mart principles to their properties, by identifying fire risks and then minimizing those risks. Homeowners, industry, and governments all have a responsibility to help reduce wildfire threats. Take a few minutes to assess the 10-metre perimeter of your home. An open, fuel-free space gives firefighters a better chance to protect your home from an advancing fire. What can you do? • Remove any shrubs, trees, deadfall or woodpiles from this area.
• Keep your grass mowed and watered. • Ensure that your roof and gutters are clear of needles, leaves or other combustible materials. • Select fire-resistant landscaping and maintain a three- to six-metre spacing between trees. • Reduce fire fuels by thinning and pruning trees as needed. • Prepare an emer-
gency fire and evacuation plan and ensure that everyone in your home is familiar with it. For information about current wildfire conditions or FireSmart principles, visit www.bcwildfire.ca. Thank you for taking an active part in reducing wildfire threats in our neighbourhoods. As we experience the growing
effects of climate change, our fire seasons are expected to become more volatile due to hotter and drier summers. Together, we can all do our part to help keep the Okanagan a safe and enjoyable summer paradise. Steve Thomson is the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Mission.

Fishery idea doesn’t smell good
A
s it has in the past few years, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans is going ahead with a recreational sockeye salmon fishery on Osoyoos Lake, despite a large drop in the number of salmon returning to spawn in the Okanagan River. The sockeye run is still being counted in the hundreds of thousands, but this year’s run is shaping up to be less than a third of last year’s spectacular run, when more than 325,000 sockeye found their way over Wells
Dam. Sockeye numbers have bounced around for the last couple of decades, but the general trend has been upwards. Much of the credit for that must go to the Okanagan Nation Alliance, which has gone to extraordinary lengths to restore sockeye to the river system going back to the early 1990s, when the run was only 3,000 to 5,000 fish. This is year 10 of their 12year program to restock the sockeye run. Although indicators point to success, we have to
ask, is it wise to open up a recreational fishery in a year when the run is down? The DFO says plenty of sockeye are getting through, and they will be closely monitored, but common sense says that each fish caught is one less going to the spawning beds. This year’s run is only at some 75,000 fish so far, but Richard Bussanich, an aquaculture specialist with the Okanagan Nation Alliance, says the spawning beds can handle 80,000 fish. That makes it cru-
cial that as many salmon get through as possible. In 2010, Okanagan Nation leaders questioned DFO’s fish management strategy for opening recreational fisheries without consultation and without gathering sufficient data to work out what the level of sustainable, ongoing fish harvesting would be. Opening another fishery in a year when returns are below optimum levels certainly lends credence to that opinion. —Penticton Western News

B.C. aboriginal consultation progress is fragile
T
he ceremonies have become common at the B.C. legislature. Government officials and aboriginal leaders gather to celebrate resource sharing agreements that allow economic development in areas that need employment but are hampered by a century of uncertainty and dispute over treaties, or lack thereof. This approach emerged a decade ago with forest agreements. The B.C. Liberal government bought back timber cutting licences from big forest
firms and made them available for community forests and aboriginal communities who claimed the areas as their traditional territories. Recently the apTom Fletcher proach was extended to mining revenues and water licence fees paid by private power developers. These are substantial steps forward for the only province in Canada in treaty limbo. A 2010 sharing deal worth more than $30 million in royalties for the Mount Milligan copper-gold mine north of Prince George
VICTORIA VIEWS
helped the McLeod Lake Indian Band recover from the pine beetle and forestry slump that devastated its business base. After many years of struggle, Mount Milligan expects to go into production this year. Another agreement with Kamloops-area communities shared revenues from an expanded Afton mine. Perhaps the most ambitious agreement was concluded in March of this year when the government signed a deal with the Tahltan Nation for mining and hydroelectric development in remote northwestern B.C. The deal clears the way for a major extension of the BC Hydro grid to power the
Tahltan village of Iskut and also the Red Chris metal mine, opening up the region to other mining and hydro potential as well. To get that deal, the province put up $20 million last year to buy back Shell Canada’s coalbed gas leases in the Klappan region, headwaters of the Nass, Skeena and Stikine Rivers. Those leases had become a target of international protest. Even after these expensive concessions, it would be an error to conclude that all is well between the Tahltan and the province. Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson questioned Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad on this point during the recent
legislature session. The Tahltan Central Council was pleased about shared decision-making on resource projects, until they found out that B.C. had handed the environmental assessment of a new open-pit coal mine over to the federal government. The proposed mine is in the Klappan, known around the world as the Sacred Headwaters. Rustad said shared decision-making deals such as the Tahltan agreement do not cover activities of the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office. Whether the review of that coal mine is federal, provincial or com-

TIMELESS QUALITY & COMFORT
Dangerous activities on the lake
To the editor: As an elderly and once adventurous lady (I myself used to once be an avid waterskier, and barefooter), I find it rather disturbing that the majority of today’s lake users somehow find it amusing, entertaining and an overall drunken experience to indulge themselves in this so-called sport of boat surfing. When most boatk ers use the lake to enjoy a peaceful, family atmosphere, there are some who constantly choose to abuse these settings. Loud, obnoxious, chain-
saw-sounding noise music, paired with dangerously close proximity of propeller contact, constantly driving circles around other boats to use their waves just doesn’t seem to add up. Coming from a personal experience, my grand daughter nearly lost her fingers while they were tangled up in the tow line, which she later informed me that a tow line is not needed? What kind of absurd behaviour is this? If you’re not attached to the boat, what’s stopping your head from being de-attached from
your body? This is not even a reality and more of a safety concern and should be policed by our waterway authorities. My goodness. I’m sure almost none of these boaters even have licenses, and on top of all this, most of them aren’t even wearing life preservers. In today’s day and age, and past events like Wave Fest and now Center of Gravity promoting such shenanigans, I’m not certain where the negative influences stop. The amount of fuel that constantly is being
dumped into the lake just astounds me from the boats that tip sideways and leak it overboard. As my husband informs me, the amount of fish have decreased severely over the past 15 years, since the introduction of these obese vessels. I have been a local lakeside resident for 37 years and my shoreline has been the main victim of erosion to this activity. In the past four years I have had detrimental pier damage and countless headaches caused from my husband’s frustrated repairs. Baby geese

Red Cross funds raised here, stay here

To the editor: Our Canadian news has been filled with a myriad of disasters occurring in the past few weeks. From the Alberta floods, to the train derailment in Quebec, to the recent apartment fires in Kelowna and the tanker truck overturn in the Kooteneys, many individuals have found themselves in horrendous situations. Throughout these disasters there has been one recurring thread—The Red Cross has been present to support those in need. When individuals and families are required to evacuate it is often without time to contemplate what to bring, precious family photos, vital medications, even such important identification pieces such as passports can be forgotten. For some Kelowna residents recenly, Red Cross was for many, the lifeline to shelter, food, clothing and hope [after apart-
ment fires]. All too often we forget just how vulnerable we are and despite all the warnings and reminders we just do not take the time to prepare properly for a small or large scale disaster—until it is on us. Thankfully there is an organization, well recognized by both name and symbol, whose trusted, hardworking volunteers and staff do plan for the unanticipated crisis which threaten our very lives. The Canadian Red Cross serves us nationally, provincially and locally by mobilizing the power of humanity to help the most vulnerable in their time of need. To do this, the Red Cross calls for volunteers, trains and supports these volunteers and fund-raises on various levels. In this area, the Red Cross, which serves an area the size of Interior Health, requires a local disaster operations centre and,

the parkade are reserved for employees. They have to submit there licence plate number and there is a waiting list. But not all the staff park there. For a measley $5 (out of the daily wage) they can park all day on the other floors

Process always on edge Fletcher from A8 bined, it requires extensive consultation with affected parties. That’s great, but all that goodwill could evaporate quickly if a coal mine ends up getting a permit despite Tahltan objections. Rustad’s Nechako Lakes constituency is also a focal point for oil and gas pipeline proposals. Donaldson highlighted another problem. Last year the government signed a reconciliation
agreement with the Gitanyow First Nation near Terrace, one of many communities struggling to get through the B.C. treaty negotiation process. That agreement included a joint landuse plan. Then the Environmental Assessment Office asked the Gitanyow for its input on proposed gas pipelines through its territory, to feed the government’s liquefied natural gas plans. Again, the joint landuse plan has no provision for pipelines.
The Gitanyow hereditary chiefs wrote to the B.C. government in July, threatening to go to court over the pipeline proposal and questioning the value of their hard-won reconciliation agreement. Resource revenue sharing agreements and shared land-use plans are well-intentioned and represent real progress. But these situations show how fragile they are.

There had been lots of time for the oncoming driver to stop for that yellow light. Traffic in the other oncoming lane managed to stop. The light was just about to turn red. The Insurance Company of British Columbia, a Crown corporation, has determined that you were at fault and that’s the end of the matter, or so you think. You don’t realize that ICBC’s assessment of fault might be wrong, that in fact there have been cases where ICBC’s fault assessments were proven not just somewhat wrong, but 100 per cent wrong, in court. You also don’t realize that ICBC will do an “about turn,” to use marching lingo, when defending the other driver’s claim. The fair thing to do, after telling you that you have no claim, would be to pay full, fair compensation for the other driver’s injuries and losses, based on their 100 per cent fault finding in that driver’s favour.

the other driver, not you, was at fault. Ironically, you will be their very best, and most important, witness. You will be a pawn in their shell game. Maybe they’ll get away with paying $0.50 on the dollar of the other driver’s claim. If they get lucky in court, and their initial fault “assessment” is reversed completely, they will pay nothing. If all goes their way, they end up paying nothing to you and then they pay nothing to the other driver. An ICBC insured driver wrote to me to express his dissatisfaction with having been used as a pawn in this kind of scenario. ICBC originally assessed him at fault in the midst of his attempts to vindicate himself. Later, after he was sued by the other driver and the case was gearing up for a trial, ICBC used his testimony as evidence to assert that the other driver was at fault so as to reduce their settlement obligations. Can you trust that ICBC’s fault “assessment” is correct? As has been a theme of my column since I started writing it six and a half years ago, I say you can’t be confident that anything ICBC tells you about your claim is true. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case.

What caring for an aging parent can teach you about yourself
C CONTRIBUTED
BILL Peckham works on his short story writing ideas at his home computer.
▼ BOOKS
Senior uncovers a long muted passion for writing Barry Gerding EDITOR
Bill Peckham has learned a life lesson that a little positive encouragement can go a long way. Long interested in writing, Peckham was told he had no talent at writing and to pursue other interests. “When I was living in Ontario many years ago and was married to a school teacher at the time, I had the idea of writing a book,” Peckham recalled. “But she took a look at my writing and told me to stop wasting my time, that I didn’t know how to write.” Now at the age of 82, Peckham has published his second book and first fiction novel, From Out Of The Woodwork, and wonders what might have been had that early response to his writing been more positive. Turned off from writing years ago, Peckham’s interests turned to another form of media, broadcasting. He hosted a radio show on home improvement in Ontario—“I was the first Shell Busey before there was a Shell Busey”—and the concept followed him into television and writing home improvement columns for print. When he retired to Kelowna with his second wife, Lynn Vaughan, the long subdued passion for writing began to resurface. “At my age you want to do things to keep your mind sharp and engaged,” Peckham said. To that end, he and his wife are regular entertainers at local seniors’ homes. “Lynn plays keyboards and I sing and play the fool up on stage,” he laughed. But with the encouragement of Lynne, Peckham began to pursue his writing interest. It started with his proficiency for writing short stories. Then he wrote a non-fiction book about home improvement, Never Hang Wallpaper With Your Wife. He had an interest in writing fiction, so he took a course on that style of writing and let his imagination take over.
What began as a series of short stories turned into a journey of love, intrigue, murder and suspense. “I enjoy writing both non-fiction and fiction, but what I find with fiction writing is it allows me to expand my imagination in words, while non-fiction writing the facts are there and you are basically retelling them.” From Out Of The Woodwork is a mystery story with a touch of the paranormal in the plot. It’s the tale of Sean Kennedy, a young Toronto contractor, who rebuilds old houses into multi-family dwellings. He encounters, through apparitions, many of the former owners of the building, at 29 Livery Lane. Peckham says his stories tend to bounce all over the map in both storylines and writing styles. “It’s very seldom that I have had writer’s block, as when I get an idea about something I just run with it,” he said. Peckham pursued self-publishing his fiction book, an odyssey that took him two years and a helpful break to make it happen. “It was an extremely challenging process…by coincidence I came across an engineer who used to work on my radio show who is now in the publishing business. I told him of the idea behind my book and he said he would be interested in publishing it.” Having gone through that sometimes frustrating experience, Peckham remains undaunted in wanting to continue to write. He has plans to write a science fiction novel and to publish some of his short stories. “I get mad sometimes now about not listening to myself. I wrote a poem a few years ago about how you should stop listening to people when they tell you how you can’t do something,” Peckham said of his long subdued passion for writing. “My wife is very supportive of me now and does all my editing. She gives me great support and you can’t ask for more than that.” bgerding@kelownacapnews.com
hanging roles, health issues, family dynamics, financial pressures and housing transitions can challenge the ability for caregivers to stay balanced and connected with the seniors they feel responsible to. We all have our own work and family responsibilities, so how do we stay focused on meeting the needs of our aging parents through what can often be a difficult time of change and letting go? Assisting families in navigating transitions that aging can present is what I do. This stage of life for parents and adult children can be rewarding, but is not without its challenges. I have been the primary caregiver for my own 91-year-old mom for several years. The greatest benefit of successfully managing her elder care transitions has been to renew our relationship, but it has also challenged me to understand how I can support her in redefining independence, while enhancing her quality of life. Together with my three sisters, we have faced the stress and worry that comes when an elderly parent struggles to live on their own. Our mom’s fears of living alone and our concern for her safety in a large house prompted a necessary move to seniors housing. The risk of falling, poor vision and hearing, health issues and memory loss made it too difficult to ensure her safety and well being in her own home. It has been a stressful transition, but there are many things we, as a family, have learned, that I am now able to pass on to others with true empathetic awareness. A quote from Bernice Johnson Reagon is: “Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze; they’re supposed to help you discover who you are.” So how do we do this? In this column, I will often talk about the emo-
SENIORS’ CONCERNS
Marjorie Horne tional needs of both the elder and the involved family members, as these are sometimes neglected and need to be addressed with patience and understanding. Emotional needs for each of us are met in unique and individual ways. The trick in relationships is giving attention to a loved one in the way that they can receive it. The result is an easing of potential resistance and conflict for everyone involved in the process of providing elder care. As described by Dr. Gary Chapman in his bestseller, Learning the 5 Love Languages, these individual ways people receive love and support
are: • Words of affirmation —someone who thrives on verbal compliments or hearing encouraging words • Quality time—giving undivided attention and time • Receiving gifts— giving that little something extra in a physical form to show you are thinking of that person • Acts of service—actually doing the day to day things that an elder can no longer manage • Physical touch— being held, touched or soothed physically. Keeping these five strategies in mind can ease the fear of losing independence for the parent and eliminate some of the stress that a caregiver may feel that they are “never doing it well enough.” This awareness may also give you the space needed to be respectful of the amount and magnitude of change and loss of control your parent is dealing with.
Today our lives are very full and we move at a fast pace. Consider this time of transitions, often accompanied with the necessity to slow down, as a gift to your parent and to yourself. You will never regret it. For myself, the experience of showing compassion and patience with my mom has provided many shared moments of joy and love. It has taught me to give the same generous gift of understanding to myself—an enlightening and unexpected outcome .

Okanagan Sun running on perfect so far this season
Wade Paterson
STAFF REPORTER
The Okanagan Sun extended their perfect start to the 2013 season Saturday night at the Apple Bowl with a 17-3 victory over the Vancouver Island Raiders. The majority of the Sun’s offence was generated in the first quarter. JT Fernandez broke into the end zone from a yard out to give the home side a 7-0 lead with four minutes to go in the opening quarter. With 56 seconds left in the first quarter, kicker Tyler Deighton connected from 21 yards out to give the Sun a 10-0 lead. Both defences prevented any scoring in the second quarter to preserve the Sun’s 10 point lead at the half. Theo Deezer found Tommy Howes from six yards out in the third quarter, increasing the Sun’s lead to 17-0. The lone Raiders points came with six
seconds left in the game on a 37-yard field goal. “I thought the kids played hard,” said Sun head coach Shane Beatty. “We played physical; I thought we played fast. We had some miscues on offence and special teams with the punting, but overall…we played well.” Prior to Saturday’s game, the Okanagan Sun hadn’t defeated the Vancouver Island Raiders since the 2010 season. “I think the kids understood the tempo better this game. They came to play—they understand the importance of progressing each week.” Defensively, Jack Rush was solid for the Sun with seven tackles and an interception. “Jack Rush and Matt McConnell stepped up this game. “Our defence is playing physical; we’ve got the right kids in the right places.” The Sun are 2-0 and will play their first road game of the season Sat-

Severson hopes to represent country at World Juniors After years of watching the IIHF World Junior Hockey Hockey Championships, Kelowna Rockets defenceman Damon Severson is hoping he can help Team Canada earn gold. Severson is currently out east attending the team’s camp. Sunday and Monday, 30 of the best junior hockey players in Canada had two days of practices. The players will then travel to Lake Placid, N.Y. for three exhibition games against Finland, Sweden and the United States. Severson said his family keeps a close eye on the tournament every December. “We usually watch every year,” said Severson, who has previous international experience at the Under-17 and 18 levels with Hockey Canada. “Now that it’s coming up to my chance, it’s getting more intense. Last year we really watched to see how the games were played. It’s really important to me and I’d be hon-
Damon Severson oured to get the chance to represent my country.” Severson is one of 10 defencemen at the summer tryout camp who is looking to catch the attention of head coach Brent Sutter. He said confidence will be a key factor for him at the camp. “I think (the key is) going in prepared and being confident in the work that you have done this summer,” he said. “It’s the high end talent in all of Canada at this age and I think you want to go in confident and make sure you stand out in the

crowd.” Severson is coming off a 52 point season in his third full season with the Kelowna Rockets. A second round draft pick of the New Jersey Devils in 2012, Severson spent a week at the Devils’ prospects camp this summer and has been working out with a personal trainer in Saskatoon during the off season, in preparation for the chance to play for Team Canada at the World Juniors. The tryout roster was selected by members of the Program of Excellence management group, including Kelowna Rockets President/GM Bruce Hamilton as well as Sean Burke, senior director of hockey operations/national teams Scott Salmond, head scout Ryan Jankowski and head coach Brent Sutter, who has the final decision on all player personnel decisions. The 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship will be held in Malmö, Sweden from Dec. 26, 2013 to Jan. 5, 2014.

Falcons suffer weekend losses The Kelowna Falcons fell 7-6 and 11-0 in Corvallis Sunday to drop their 2013 season record to 1731. A strong start by Corvallis resulted in a Falcons loss in game one as the Knights earned four runs in the bottom of the first inning off starting pitcher Nolan Savage. The Falcons nearly closed the gap in the seventh and final frame. Jarryd Klemm hit his
third home run of the season—a three-run shot—to bring the Falcons within one, but that’s as close as they would come. The Knights dominat-

Curbside catch basin assault on mosquitoes
Bosley’s Westbank Meet our team of pet experts for tips and advice on pet health and wellness.
For the second time this summer, this week you may see people driving through Central Okanagan neighbourhoods and throwing packets into curbside catch basins. Weather permitting, from Wednesday through Sunday, five crews—three in cars, two on scooters—will be making a stop by every roadside catch basin in the City of Kelowna, District of Lake Country, a portion of West Kelowna Estates in the District of West Kelowna and Sunset Ranch in the Central Okanagan East Electoral Area. Their mission is to treat standing water with an environmentally approved mosquito larvacide. During this six-day blitz, some 9,000 roadside catch basins will be treated as part of the Regional District of Central Okanagan Mosquito Control Program. The crews were out in late June for a seven day blitz treating the catch basins. If you’d like to know more about this program and how you can help reduce mosquito breeding sites around your home, visit regionaldistrict.com/mosquitoes.

THERMAL CONTAINERS You should never skimp when food safety is at stake. Your choice of a thermal container is crucial for your child’s health. The temperature of a hot meal should always stay above 60°C, so it is recommended to use a thermal container made of stainless steel with double wall vacuum insulation.

the end, generally within two to three years of being diagnosed. Lister, who lives in Victoria, wanted the Cycle of Hope to be both a fundraiser but also to offer support and a shared sense of grieving for other participants who have dealt with ALS. “One of the big parts of this event is to help with the healing that ALS often doesn’t allow the opportunity for,” Lister said. “That’s a big part of dealing with ALS, it’s not like cancer which is more widespread and identifiable to people. You tell someone you’ve lost someone to ALS and they don’t really know what you’ve been through, or know what you mean.” In Canada, Lister says 3,000 people have the disease, 300 of those living in B.C. Lister lost her dad to ALS in his 60s. He was perfectly healthy other than having ALS, she re-

It just made no sense. He was living off a machine for the last months of his life and there was nothing we could do.” “The mind was still there. The feelings were still there. But he couldn’t communicate. It was devastating for our family to go through, and for him to live at home as an ALS patient meant altering our own lives during that time to accommodate his needs. It’s very hard on a family.” So she, along with Victoria radio talk show host Robin Farrell, started the Cycle of Hope as a way for Lister to honour
her dad. Last year’s Cycle of Hope ventured from Kamloops to Hope, a team of six riders completed the 700 km trek helping to raise $20,000. This year’s ride, which will pass through the Okanagan this week, hopes to raise $32,000 with a dozen riders taking part. The tour starts Aug. 1 in Kamloops followed by stops in Salmon Arm (Aug. 8), Vernon (Aug. 9), Kelowna (Aug. 10 and 11), Penticton (Aug. 12), Osoyoos (Aug. 13) and Keremeos (Aug. 14). In Kelowna, there will be a reception Aug. 10, 6 p.m., at Fresh Air Concept, 555 Groves Ave., where the Cycle of Hope
riders will answer questions to raise awareness about ALS and research to find a cure. The next day, local riders can take part in a community ride, choosing either a 30- or 70-km route, with the top fundraiser winning a prize of two nights accommodation at an Accent Inn and two tickets to a Vancouver Canucks game. For more information about the ride, check out the website www.cycleofhope.ca. To see the Facebook page link for the Kelowna event, visit www.facebook.com/ events/1875281247 33328.

MOBILE STORAGE
Team BC is getting an assist in their trek to the TransCan National Motocross Championship, thanks to a sponsorship by BigSteelBox, the Kelowna-based mobile storage company. Four motocross bike racers have qualified for the largest amateur motocross race in Canada and will have their bikes and gear shipped across the country in a BigSteelBox. “To our knowledge, this is the first time a team of riders has been put together to compete in this most prestigious event,” said Dan Piccolo, team organizer. “B.C. has long been a hot bed of budding motocross talent, this year we have it in spades.” Riders from across Canada and the US will gather to do battle on the grounds of Walton Raceway in the 22nd Annual Parts Canada TransCan National Motocross Championship in Walton, Ontario from Aug. 14 to 18.
DISASTER RELIEF
Canadian Red Cross encourages British Columbians to support the annual Walmart fund raising campaign that was launched last week. The three-week cross-country campaign raises funds for Red Cross disaster preparedness and response activities. This year’s fund raising goal for B.C. and Yukon is $353,000. The national goal is $3 million of which more than $700,000 are matching funds from Walmart. “From forest fires or apartment fires to floods and landslides, Red Cross is there in times of need for Canadians whose lives are disrupted by disasters,” said Sharan Dhillon, Red Cross corporate giving manager. “Generous donations from British Columbians will help ensure that Red Cross is ready to respond when disaster strikes right here in B.C. communities.” Walmart customers can support the Red Cross when they shop by making a donation at the check-out counter. Walmart will match these donations up to $2,000 per store. The campaign will run in Walmart stores until Aug. 25.

Ready to put The Liquidator in his place Barry Gerding EDITOR
As the star of his own TV show called The Liquidator, Jeff Schwarz shows off his prowess at buying and selling just about anything. He takes a problem off one person’s hands and turns it into a quick profit by getting someone else to buy it, sometimes within mere minutes. But Schwarz met his negotiating match when he and his film crew arrived in Kelowna last week to strike a deal with downtown Kelowna business owner Kim Williams. Williams is owner of a sensuality store in Kelowna, with a second location in West Kelowna. Williams sent an email earlier this month to The Liquidator producers, asking if they wanted to help liquidate about $35,000 of stock in her store she was looking to move. “For me, I wanted to liquidate the Halloween costumes and lingerie hanging in my stores because they aren’t selling, to make room for other items that sell more,” Williams said. Williams said a response to her email came within an hour. “Before you knew it, the crew had arrived, we did some negotiations and it was all filmed last Thursday,” she said. Williams was aware of Schwarz’s TV reputation for being a lowball negotiator, so she set a figure in her mind of $17,500 that she would not go below. “I was not about to give my stock away for free because it was all good, quality,” Williams. “That is the nature of the show, sometimes the negotiations work and sometimes they don’t,” Williams said. “But I didn’t just jump off the banana boat yesterday. I know what I am trying to sell is worth, and I wasn’t

KIM Williams is the owner of Wild Kingdom, with stores in downtown Kelowna and West Kelowna. as desperate to sell as some people are who appear on the show.” Williams doesn’t doubt the nature of her business probably was a magnet for drawing such a quick response from The Liquidator show producers. “What I do best is sell adult products, such as massage toys and that kind of thing, which sets me apart from everyone else,” Williams explained. “I really feel that calling my store
a sex shop does a disjustice to my business. What I do is a whole different ballgame from the sex shop stereotype of the 1970s and ’80s. “We make our customers feel comfortable in our store environment, and give people the right information so they can purchase the right products. “We have customers from all walks of life and different age groups. We have a lot of seniors that shop here
and physicians sometimes send their patients to us for assistance.” Schwarz operates his own business, Direct Liquidation, in Burnaby and three years ago opted to let the cameras roll during his wheeling and dealing escapades. He describes the concept as a “simple TV show about how I live every day.” The Liquidator takes viewers behind the scenes of a negotiation, where Schwarz can sometimes turn a profit within minutes, selling a product for a profit before the person he bought it from has left his store. But it’s not all success. His TV presence makes it a badge of honour for someone to score a bargain from Schwarz. And some deals backfire on him, such as the crates of instant noodles he bought for a steal, but ended up having to donate to a food bank because they were nearing expiration. As for Williams, she was more than a match for Schwarz. She came to Kelowna from Banff 15 years ago with the idea to open a sensuality shop. “People told me it would never fly here, but here I am 15 years later with two stores,” Williams said. She is no stranger to TV either, having made an earlier appearance on The Dragon’s Den. “I didn’t do the Dragon’s Den for the money, it was about the promotion of my business,” said Williams. “I was only on the show for a few minutes but the promotional benefit that came out of that for my business was 10-fold.” She is hoping for a similar reaction when her Liquidator segment airs on the OLN network, which begins its third season on Thursdays next spring. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

Planning tips for buying a house
I
f you are purchasing a new home, or perhaps this is your second or third home purchase, make it a smoother process by following some planning tips. Ensure your credit history is good. You can run a free credit check on yourself to ensure your past and current credit history is in good order. How much home can FISCAL you afford? Be careful FITNESS that you do not become unable to afford other necessary things in life because you have purchased a house you are not finanDoreen cially ready for. Stay in control of your Smith finances by pre-determining the type of home you can afford. Talk to a mortgage broker about how much you can afford to get pre-approved for a mortgage before you start looking. Pre-approvals typically are for 120 days—and should protect you against an interest rate increase if rates go up. Determine the important factors now before you become overwhelmed when you start looking at homes. Some of the important factors to consider when looking for a new home include the number of bedrooms; number of bathrooms; large or small kitchen; large yard or maintenance free yard; one level style of housing or perhaps multiple steps are OK. Is location an important feature for you and your family? Do you want to be close to work or schools? Will you need one vehicle or multiple vehicles or is public transit an option for you or family members? By making a list of the important features and ranking them in order of importance, it takes some of the emotion out of searching for the right home. Use a ranking system that can be flexible because when you see the home of your dreams, priorities may change like the weather. Check out the neighbourhood and go back at different times of the day and night to see if there is any change in the activity level. Talk with people in the area and ask questions about what their thoughts are on living in this area. Home ownership can be for a few years or a lifetime—Either way, home ownership is one of the largest expenses we will ever have in our lifetime. How much will it cost to live in the home? Check out the property taxes, the utility costs, and all the other expenses you may not think of. Large yards will cost more than a small yard to maintain and long driveways typically cost more than a short driveway. Do some research online about home ownership. Talk to professionals involved in the real estate industry. Family and friends can also offer valuable advice on the many aspects of home ownership. There are many types of home ownership. Single homes, semidetached, condominium, co-ops, 99-year leasehold and strata on leased land. Each type has benefits and each type has costs associated with property ownership. Buying a home is a dream come true. As one of the largest business decisions you make during your lifetime, plan for it to be as stress-free as possible and an enjoyable experience.

ADULT CHESAPEAKE BAY RETRIEVERS SPAYED FEMALES
2013
These two beautiful sisters are active and friendly, easily excitable and just love being around people. They would both benefit from a strong guardian who loves regular exercise and outings to keep they healthy and happy. They will need a fenced yard, as there is a tendency to wander when they are left unsupervised for any length of time. Bella and Bailey are bonded and of course we are looking for a home for them ‘together’ which would be the ideal situation, but it is not mandatory. They are happy-go-lucky, affectionate and promise to ‘share’ the bed, not ‘hog’ it. If you feel they would be a good fit for your family...we may just send them home together at a reduced price!!! (PS...they are also good with cats)

If it’s hot, your pet may be in trouble! The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet. On summer days the air and upholstery in your vehicle can heat up to high temperatures that make it impossible for pets to cool themselves. Your dog will be more comfortable if left at home. If you see a dog in a car on a hot day that you believe may be in trouble, call your local SPCA, animal shelter, or police immediately.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen feast in a field A highlight of the year for folks who enjoy supporting local farmers, producers, chefs and shops when they sit down for their meals each day, is the annual Okanagan Feast of Fields, and this year it’s being held in Kelowna for the first time. It’s Sun., Aug. 18 at Little Church Organics on Gordon Drive, from 1-5 p.m. and this is the fifth event in the Okanagan, although it’s been going on at the coast for 20 years. Participating are some of the top chefs in the valley, including chefs Grant deMontreuil of The Bonfire at The Cove, Stu Klassen of the Delta Grand Okanagan, Willi Franz of the Grapevine at Gray Monk, Matt Batey of The Terrace at Mission Hill, Roger Sleiman of Old Vines at Quails’ Gate, Rod Butters of RauDZ Regional Table, Jesse Croy of Summerhill and a host of other excellent chefs, restaurants and shops, plus an array of the valley’s best wineries, cideries, distilleries and breweries. It’s described as a four-hour roving harvest festival, showcasing some of the best food the region and the province offer. It’s a travelling feast that pops up in different farm fields, against a backdrop of fruit trees, grapes, corn and squash, with the aim of reminding people where their food comes from—or introducing them to its origin. It’s also a celebration honouring those who grow and create the food that graces our tables. Put on by FarmFolk CityFolk, proceeds from the event go toward local agriculture-based projects such as B.C. Seeds, Community Farms, Meet Your Maker Okanagan and Young Agrarians. Tickets are available at Choices Markets in Kelowna or online at farmfolkcityfolk.ca One of this year’s participating chefs is Stu Klassen, executive chef at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort and president of the very active and community-minded Okanagan Chefs’ Association, and he has shared with us the treat he plans to make for you at this year’s event. I tried it and it’s simply scrumptious. Each year we have volunteered our time to help set up for the event, as we will again this year, so we look forward to seeing you there. However, you’ll have to get your ticket soon or there simply won’t be any left, and they are limited. You can enjoy lots of recipes inspired by what’s fresh, local and in season in my book, Jude’s Kitchen, available in bookstores.

Frozen Fruit Lolly with Crispy Pork & Basil Sugar
Delta Grand Okanagan Resort executive chef Stuart Klassen’s vibrant combination of fresh flavours will wow those attending this year’s Okanagan Feast of Fields. Chef Klassen is a strong proponent of the eat local movement, and most of the ingredients in his dish can be sourced locally and are currently in season. In fact, the basil he uses is from his own garden, and the Double Cross Pink Lady Ice Cider is available at the Cross family’s Function Junction fruit stand and Double Cross Cidery tasting room, just north of Kelowna on Highway 33. They also have perfect fresh sweet corn and all sorts of other fresh fruits and vegetables—grown right there on the farm. 6 cherries 2 peaches
2 apricots 2 plums 1/2 c. (125 ml) sugar 1 large sprig fresh basil 6 oz. (150 ml) Double Cross Pink Lady Iced Cider 3.5 oz. (100 g) pulled pork
FROZEN FRUIT LOLLY: Pre-heat oven to 400 F. To make the frozen stone fruit lolly, dice all fruits and toss with a couple of spoonfuls of sugar. Roast in the oven until fruit just starts to char. Cool fruit, then roll it in cling film very tightly, tying the ends off to resemble a large sausage. Freeze until almost frozen, about two or three hours, then make a small incision in the cling film and insert a popsicle stick every
half-inch. Return to the freezer to completely freeze. When ready to serve, use a sharp serrated knife and cut between the sticks. Peel off the plastic film and lay flat for the presentation.
BASIL SUGAR: To prepare the basil sugar, add almost a quarter cup of the sugar and the fresh basil to a food processor and blitz until the basil is powdered like the sugar. It may be a bit wet, so lay it flat on a pan to air dry.
PULLED PORK: To make the pulled pork, braise a pork shoulder until very tender. (Or you may purchase prepared pulled pork).
Pull the pork apart in long, narrow strings and fry them in hot oil. Add a pinch of salt and a generous amount of the basil sugar, cool and put on or under the frozen lolly.
DOUBLE CROSS SYRUP To prepare the Double Cross syrup, pour nearly a quarter cup of the sugar into a pot on medium heat and cook until the sugar begins to melt. Add the Double Cross Pink Lady Iced Cider, available at Function Junction on Highway 33, stir and reduce until it is the consistency of syrup. Drizzle the syrup around the frozen lolly and serve. Serves 8.

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen
There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt
*fresh ingredients top frozen or canned *organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh
*I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with *I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well
